New Capabilities at ORNL
Discussions with Tim Bigelow, ORNL Fusion Energy Division, indicate some existing experimental power supplies will be moved from Y-12 to ORNL
Some of the power supplies will have capability to power MERIT solenoid– 650V peak
– 15,000A pulsed > 5sec
– Voltage and/or current can be controlled by SCR gate waveform control

Comments
Major infrastructure should be available in late 2008, but connection costs may be incurred
Hazard analysis (radiation, Hg, LBE) will have to be performed, but no major obstacles envisioned
Other power supplies will be available (capabilities unknown at this time) that might be useful for other HEP experiments in the future
